Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With the shortage of skilled labors, there is an increasing demand for automation in the construction industry. This study presents an autonomous construction framework for crane control with enhanced soft actor–critic (SAC-E) algorithm and real-time progress monitoring. SAC-E is a novel reinforcement learning algorithm with superior learning speed and training stability for lifting path planning. In addition, robotic kinematics and a control algorithm are implemented to ensure that the crane can autonomously execute the lifting path. Last, novel hardware communication interfaces between robot operating system and building information modeling (BIM) are developed for real-time construction progress monitoring. The performance of the proposed framework was demonstrated using a robotized mobile crane to stack concrete retaining blocks. The results show that the proposed framework can be effectively used to execute the retaining block construction using the robotized mobile crane with real-time construction update in the BIM platform.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
